Live Storyboarding...

I had a great time in this lesson. Our task was to draw up a storyboard of what was being acted out, once again we had no model so it was passed to my lecturer. With a little help from Lucia and a bag they acted out the scene where Nancy is murdered by Bill in Oliver, we had to move around the room constantly thinking about what kind of shot we would choose. We didn't have much time on each shot, so as you can see my storyboard is not very detailed, but hopefully you still know what's going on.

For homework we had to choose our favourite movie and storyboard a scene from it. I chose Who Framed Roger Rabbit, I really enjoyed this. I only managed to do twelve, but I wish I'd had time to do more.

I've also added a video of the actual scene from the movie so that you can compare it with my storyboard.

I Hate Perspective!

I really struggled with this lesson mainly because a) I couldn't get my head around it and b) I was doing it completely wrong. But I'm glad to say that I kinda began to understand it towards the end of the lesson. To be honest I really need to give this a proper good go before I start complaining.

Imitating Art!

This was my second favourite lesson after the character and exaggeration one. In this lesson our lecturer told that it would a good idea to start looking for out own style of drawing. So we were given a hand out that had a lot of different artists work, she told us to draw our model in the style of each of the artists. But there was just one problem, our model hadn't turned up so our lecturer stepped in and did a brilliant job!

These two sketches are favourites from this lesson, because I love the style used, plus I think they're quite funny sketches of my lecturer.

All Together...

I'm going to show you all the drawings from the next two lessons, because these were the two that I didn't have my regular lecturer. Some of these sketches do look dirty, thats because for one of these lessons I decided to use a black pastel. I tried my best not to get an imprint of what I had just drawn onto the next page, but due to my stupidity I'd forgotten to bring some hairspray. I put some on as soon as I got home but unfortunately the damage had already been done!

 The next set of sketches were all done in the same lesson but feel a bit random, mainly because we didn't really stick to drawing one thing. But I am proud of two of these following sketches, the first one of Lucia mainly because it actually looks like her but also because I love drawing women with curves. The other is the sketch of my hand, although it's not 100% perfect, it shows that I've been practising.

Doctor Who: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS

A spaceship salvage team drags the TARDIS on board, sending its systems into meltdown. As the Doctor marshals the motley salvage crew outside, he realises Clara is still trapped within his malfunctioning ship, pursued by a dangerous group of ossified monsters. He has just 30 minutes to find Clara and save his TARDIS before it self-destructs.

It's So Emotional...

Next up was emotions and once again we didn't have a model. So we took turns as a class to pose for each other. We had to portray an emotion, whilst the rest of us tried to convey that in our sketches. To be honest by the look of these sketches you would assume that most of my classmates are really depressed, but my favourite is my lecturer's WTF pose.

I can see now in my sketches that I still wasn't allowing my pencil to flow freely across the page, but the biggest thing is that I can tell that I have improved a lot since starting uni again way back in September last year!

I'm sorry about this last sketch. You can't really see it because in the next lesson I decided to use a black pastel, but because I'm such a tit I forgot to bring some hairspray. Oh well…
